Part 5AGame estates
65CUse and disposal of animal material and product from game estate animals
A client hunter may kill or process a game estate animal himself or herself (either on the game estate or on the client hunter's own property), or have it processed by a listed homekill or recreational catch service provider, in accordance with section 68.
A game estate operator may dress and process a game estate animal for a client hunter only if the operator is a listed homekill or recreational catch service provider, except as provided in subsection (3).
Nothing in Part 6 or in subsection (2) of this section requires a game estate operator to be listed as a homekill or recreational catch service provider if—
- the operator only carries out limited processing, such as removing trophy heads or skinning killed animals; or
- the only processing carried out by the operator (beside any limited processing referred to in paragraph (a)) is the preparation and serving of the recreational catch as a meal to its catcher or members of the catcher's party.
A game estate operator may also—
- in accordance with section 67, have any game estate animal from his or her estate (whether or not caught or killed by a client hunter) killed or processed by a listed homekill or recreational catch service provider for the operator's own use or consumption as if the operator were the owner and farmer of the animal:
- sell or otherwise dispose of any parts of a game estate animal (including such things as skins, hides, and trophy heads) from the operator's estate, by whomever caught or killed or processed, that are not for human or animal consumption:
- sell or dispose of any parts of such an animal to a renderer in accordance with any conditions imposed by the Director-General by notice under section 167(1).
A game estate operator who is listed under this Part may also present killed game estate animals for primary processing in accordance with Parts 2 to 4 for use or consumption as regulated animal product.
